NOW HIRING: EXECUTIVE SOUS CHEF
Virginia Beach, VA
Be part of one of Virginia Beach’s most talked-about new openings.
The doors are open, the volume is building, and this upscale, high-energy restaurant is already making waves in the market. We’re looking for a strong Executive Sous Chef to step in now and help lead the kitchen through its next phase of growth.
This is not a “backfill” role — this is a ground-floor leadership opportunity in a concept with real momentum, serious volume, and a team that’s ready to win.
Why This Role Stands Out
- Newly opened, high-visibility restaurant already generating buzz
- High-volume, upscale environment with strong backing
- Real opportunity to shape systems, culture, and team
- Clear path for growth within an expanding group
The Role
As Executive Sous Chef, you’ll be the right hand to the Executive Chef — owning day-to-day BOH operations, leading from the front during service, and driving consistency, accountability, and performance across the kitchen.
You’ll be stepping into a fast-paced, high-impact environment where your leadership will directly influence the restaurant’s success.
What You’ll Own
- Lead and execute high-volume service with precision and consistency
- Oversee all BOH operations, systems, and standards
- Train, mentor, and develop Sous Chefs and line-level talent
- Drive food quality, presentation, and sanitation excellence
- Partner on inventory, ordering, scheduling, and cost controls
- Help stabilize and refine operations post-opening
- Build a strong, disciplined, and team-focused kitchen culture
What We’re Looking For
- 3+ years in a leadership role within high-volume upscale or polished casual
- Executive Sous Chef or strong Senior Sous ready to step up
- Proven ability to lead large teams in fast-paced environments
- Strong financial acumen (food cost, labor, systems)
- Calm, confident, and hands-on leadership style
- Detail-driven with high standards and accountability
What You’ll Get
- Competitive base salary + bonus
- Medical & dental benefits
- 401K
- Paid time off
- Parking included
- Real growth opportunity with a scaling restaurant group
If you’re ready to step into a leadership role where your impact is immediate and visible — this is it.
Apply now and be part of building something that Virginia Beach is already paying attention to.
